What is the torque spec for the distributor hold-down bolt on a 1994 Ford Bronco/F-Series?

Without moving the timing adjustment, tighten the distributor hold-down bolt and clamp to 23-34 N·m (17-25 ft-lb). Distributor cap hold-down screws are tightened to 2.0-2.6 N·m (18-23 in-lb).

Where should the No. 1 piston be when installing the distributor?

The No. 1 piston must be at TDC (top dead center) of the compression stroke when installing the distributor.

Can the drive gear on an EEC-IV distributor be replaced?

No. The drive gear on EEC-IV distributors is not released for service and is matched to the distributor at assembly. If it is nicked, cracked, damaged, or excessively worn, a new EEC-IV distributor must be used.

What special tools are needed to remove the distributor gear/stator?

Axle Bearing/Seal Plate T75L-1165-B and Pinion Bearing Cone Remover D79L-4621-A or equivalent. An arbor press is also required — do not attempt to replace the stator without one.

What lubricant should be used on the distributor gear teeth?

Coat the distributor gear teeth with fresh motor oil or Engine Assembly Lubricant D9AZ-19579-D (ESR-M99C80-A).

This is page 03-07-5 from the 1994 Ford Powertrain/Drivetrain service manual (dated Aug 1993) covering Econoline, F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and F-Super Duty. The page continues the Ignition, Distributor 'Removal and Installation' section. The left column details a 12-step distributor installation procedure, including verifying the No. 1 piston is at TDC of the compression stroke, inspecting the O-ring and drive gear, lubricating gear teeth with Engine Assembly Lubricant D9AZ-19579-D (ESR-M99C80-A), aligning the rotor with the marked position, and torque specs: distributor cap hold-down screws 2.0-2.6 N·m (18-23 in-lb) and hold-down bolt/clamp 23-34 N·m (17-25 ft-lb) after timing is set. The right column begins the Stator Removal procedure, with a CAUTION that the EEC-IV distributor drive gear is not serviceable — a new EEC-IV distributor must be used if the gear is damaged. Twelve removal steps cover armature, roll pin, and gear removal using Axle Bearing/Seal Plate T75L-1165-B and Pinion Bearing Cone Remover D79L-4621-A, plus notes specific to 5.0L, 5.8L, 7.5L collars and the 4.9L thrust washer. An illustration (B4139-A) shows pressing the gear off the shaft.
